Chapter 297 Suppression and Counter-suppression
There is no doubt that the reason why Princess Pingning went to Zangxiang Pavilion was definitely Jiang Liuyun's doing.
But Lu Nanyue quickly thought of another question, and she asked:
"Xiao Qing'er, why is Bai Ling here? Did you call her in advance?"
"Not bad." Lin Zhiqing nodded:
"I asked Lu Huai and Yun Feng to keep an eye on the outside movements after they go out. If things happen as we expected, Yun Feng will go and send the invitation to Bai Ling."
Jiang Liuyun played the role of catching an adulterer and called the audience, so of course Lin Zhiqing had to learn from him.
This kind of thing can't happen without witnesses.
From Bai Ling's perspective, Lin Zhiqing just happened to encounter such a big event when he asked her out.
In other words, Lin Zhiqing's suspicion was cleared.
As a witness to this plot within a plot, Yun Feng couldn't help but admire: "Miss Zhiqing is very careful and considers ten steps ahead. In this respect, she is not much different from my young master."
"My master also asked me to find a chance to catch this woman, but I didn't expect someone else to get there first."
Yun Feng looked at the woman with the mole on the ground, curled his lips, and felt that it was a pity that he didn't take action first.
Lin Yangyang raised her chin: "Who can take her away in front of me? Am I a vegetarian?"
"You two are not pushovers, okay?" Lu Nanyue praised him half-heartedly.
She turned to look at Lin Zhiqing and said worriedly, "Xiao Qing'er, what are you going to do next?"
"This should be a question that Jiang Liuyun should think about, not a question that I should think about." Lin Zhiqing stared at the woman with the mole with a sharp look in his eyes.
In such an open and secret struggle, she gained a lot.
First, the murderer of Aunt Mu was found, the woman with a mole lying on the ground.
Second, Jiang Liuyun's affectionate personality, which he had pretended to have for so long, has now completely collapsed.
This incident was a heavy blow to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. It could be said that it completely destroyed the reputation they had spent many years building.
Third, she now has a suitable reason to break off the engagement with Jiang Liuyun.
These three things are not easy for Jiang Liuyun to deal with.
Lin Zhiqing not only found out the murderer of Aunt Mu, but also used this incident to plot against Jiang Liuyun.
Her goal was exceeded.
Lu Huai frowned slightly: "I'm afraid Jiang Liuyun will put all the blame on Yun Jian."
"Yes, this seems like something that scumbag would do." Lin Yangyang nodded in agreement.
"This is what Yun Jian should have endured. No matter what, she won't survive." Lin Zhiqing's expression was indifferent, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
But no one thought she was heartless or indifferent, because everyone knew that Yun Jian owed Aunt Mu a life.
In this matter, no one has the right to be lenient on Lin Zhiqing's behalf.
"Even if he puts the blame on Yun Jian, he can at most salvage his illusory reputation. That's not important." Lin Zhiqing said in a light voice.
"What about her?" Lin Yangyang asked, pointing at the woman with the mole.
"She's still useful." Lin Zhiqing knocked on the table: "What do you think her relationship with Jiang Liuyun is?"
"I think this has something to do with her background." Yun Feng thought for a moment.
"I think so too." Lin Yangyang also agreed with this statement.
Lu Nanyue, however, offered a different opinion: "What if, I mean what if, what if this woman is the one Jiang Liuyun likes? This should have nothing to do with her background."
"This is also a possibility." Lin Zhiqing confirmed her idea.
Lu Huai shook his head:
"I don't think it's that simple. If my guess is correct, this woman is missing. Besides Jiang Liuyun, the Ministry of Justice is also worried."
This is completely consistent with Lin Zhiqing's idea.
She nodded. "If the person who escaped prison reappears in Shengjing City, even if we don't take action, the public and the Censorate will be able to drown the Ministry of Justice in spit."
"And when Jiang Liuyun was plotting against us, he had already left her a sufficient escape route. This behavior was clearly to protect her."
"Or you could say this behavior is actually just for Lu Huai and me to find her, not for anyone else."
"Jiang Liuyun would not do such a thing in vain. I guess he wants to use the Ministry of Justice to suppress me and Lu Huai."
"After all, if Lu Huai and I knew this secret, the Ministry of Justice would automatically stand on Jiang Liuyun's side."
"Minister of Justice?" Lu Nanyue was shocked. "So, do we have something against him now?"
Lu Huai nodded: "Not bad."
"This is not an easy problem to solve. Confronting such a person is like having one more enemy invisibly." Lu Nanyue murmured.
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "Who said we are going to fight him?"
When these words were spoken, everyone except Lu Huai looked a little surprised.
Lin Zhiqing patiently explained: "Sometimes, there isn't just one path before us."
“There are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends.”
"This woman with a mole is not only a handle on the Minister of Justice, but also on Jiang Liuyun."
"What do you think is the best solution for the Minister of Justice if this matter becomes a big deal?"
As soon as this question was asked, the others fell into deep thought.
Lu Nanyue thought more simply: "Kill everyone who knows about this and make sure this matter is not leaked."
Lin Yangyang also held similar thoughts.
"No, if Jiang Liuyun succeeds in his scheme against Zhiqing and me, he can certainly kill her to silence her." Lu Huai calmly analyzed:
"Because we were at a disadvantage at the time, there was no way to pass on this news. He only needed to not support the retrial of Uncle Lin's case, even if it would cause trouble for the Lin family."
"Now we have this woman in our hands. If she makes the slightest move, Aqing will take action."
"Now that she's in our hands, the Ministry of Justice can't deny it. I've already reported the lack of information about this woman to the Ministry of Revenue. It'll be difficult for the Ministry of Justice to get past any of the hurdles."
"That's right." Lin Zhiqing nodded: "The bargaining chips in our hands are more important than theirs."
"But Nan Yue is right about one thing. From the perspective of the Minister of Justice, if the person who knew about it died, then of course everything would be settled."
"But if this woman dies, won't there be no evidence?"
Lu Nanyue subconsciously continued, "Jiang Liuyun went through so much trouble to rescue her from the Ministry of Justice. Will he agree to kill her?"
Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "Nanyue, for us, the best option is for Jiang Liuyun to disagree with killing her."
"Miss Zhiqing, what do you mean?" Yun Feng was also a little confused.
Lin Zhiqing looked at the woman with the mole on the ground and narrowed his eyes:
"Jiang Liuyun originally wanted to point the finger at me and Lu Huai and force the Minister of Justice to stand on his side, because they have a common handle on us."
"But what if they themselves have different ideas about what to do with the woman with the mole?"
"Do you think they will fight among themselves?"
